This is my personal take, not SP's. I believe that Philly and the Host/Marriott deal caused Tivu to go all in believing that if we could get this rolling and impress H/M, it would take us to the top, i.e. "Game over!" H/M then did what they do best: played hardball. They wanted to risk nothing and made Tivus foot the whole bill. It went well until we lost our Ip provider and IBM switch installations. Fixed the IP provider, and then IBM decided to save a little money by changing switches that were NOT the ones to be provided. Hotel goes down and no one can figure out why. This is what is supposedly being fixed right now. But, this has put Tivus nearly into bankruptcy. So, what will H/M do? If all is fixed and functions will they finally convert this to a real, $ paying contract? Or will H/M just continue to be jerks and suck Tivus dry?
One thing I am sure of; SP has done everything humanly possible to make this work. He is probably broke, taking the bus where he can to save money, and still has dreams. He is NOT a crook. Business is business, and people not wanting to risk disappointment are just not being realistic. GLTA. R3
